Yi'an was also surprised when he saw Liang Xinming's face at first glance, but he didn't react as much as Wang Heng, Liang Xinming and Lin Xin'er in front of him were just a little similar, and this was a man, so he didn't think about the little young grandmother at all.

Yi'an carried a food box in his hand, saying that the adults were eating in the restaurant, and the governor specially ordered someone to send a few dishes to Liang Jieyuan to comfort his wife and daughter.

Liang Xinming took it and said solemnly: "Student Governor Xie." ”

Yi'an said goodbye with a smile, and never mentioned Wang Heng.

Liang Xinming knew that this must have been arranged by Wang Heng.

When I went to the kitchen, I opened the food box and saw that there were four dishes: a plate of braised bear's paws, a bowl of braised civets, a dish of stinky mandarin fish, and stewed wild pigeon with yams. It's still steaming, apparently freshly out of the pot. The last three dishes are all special Hui dishes, all of which are Lin Xin'er's favorite food. There were also five or six big crabs tied to straw, and they said that they were left for tomorrow to eat, because the civet cats were cooked with autumn pears, and pears should not be eaten with crabs, because they were easy to hurt their stomachs.

Liang Xinming is not a high-minded person, firmly believes in the natural law of competition for the survival of the fittest, and only when she is alive and defeats her opponent can she have dignity, and if she dies, there is no dignity, but she is still very unhappy in the face of this "concern" and feels that it is a charity to her.

Li Huiniang said indignantly: "Do you treat us as Hanako?"

Liang Xinming's depression dissipated with a "poof".

She smiled gently: "Hui Niang, the teacher is very gracious, we can't live up to it!" and said lightly: "This saves us business." Just fry a green vegetable for dinner, you don't need anything else, and you can't finish it if you cook too much. ”

Li Huiniang saw her smiling face, and no longer blocked her, and also changed her tone, and said fiercely: "Don't eat for nothing, don't eat!"

Suddenly, the family sat down at the table.

Xiao Chaoyun stared at the bear paw and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Liang Xinming said: "Bear paw." Seeing that she was puzzled, he took her little hand, opened her five little fingers, and presented five nests on the back of her hand, motioned her to look, and said with a smile: "It's the palm of a bear." Oops, our little palms are also fat......"

Xiao Chaoyun snatched his hand back, hid behind his back, and hurriedly said, "You can't eat it!"

Liang Xinming laughed, and Hui Niang also looked at her daughter and couldn't help laughing.

When eating, Liang Xinming took the bear's paw as Wang Heng's palm and chewed it slowly.

The three of them ate delicious food while discussing how to cook crabs tomorrow.

Liang Xinming said: "Tomorrow, you make crab roe soup dumplings for Chaoyun to eat, and I will teach you how to do it when I go back." I'm going to the Deer Feast. ”

She also has an important task: to raise money for the passage to Beijing to catch the exam!

Since Wang Heng is so kind, then the cost of the journey will fall on him.

Liang Xinming whispered a few words in Li Huiniang's ear, Li Huiniang looked at her in surprise, Liang Xinming nodded leisurely, and looked at Chaoyun with a smile - some words are still taboo in front of children, lest she say it ignorantly.

The next day, in the back hall of the governor's yamen, the deer feasted.

The Luming Banquet is a banquet hosted by the local government on behalf of the imperial court on the day after the release of the township test list, and the banquet is held for the chief examiner, the same examiner, other deacons, etc., and the new imperial examination people. At the banquet, everyone recited the "Book of Songs" and "Deer Song" to celebrate.

At the banquet, the governor of Huizhou was very reluctant to raise his sons, and he looked forward to them with great anticipation, such as his sons and nephews, and the other officials were also very kind and cordial.

Even if they become ordinary officials in the future, if the mountains do not turn around, they may be able to borrow their strength one day, and now is a good time to win them over.

The new people are also in a mood of anticipation and cautious entertainment.

Whether they are young or old, officialdom is unfamiliar territory for them, which needs to be explored and familiarized. These officials must be acquainted, and the officers of the same department must also be acquainted. Whether it is necessary to make a splash at the banquet, or to keep a low profile and avoid arousing jealousy, whether to flatter the officials to the extreme, or to maintain the integrity of the scholars, it is necessary to have a good sense of proportion.

Today, their performance is very important!

At the banquet, the sheng song is melodious, the piano music is pleasant, the graceful posture of the maids is endless, and the plates of delicious delicacies are sent up.

Wang Heng sat at the top of the hall and didn't deliberately look at Liang Xinming, but he could always accurately feel her position, and every time he raised his eyes, sure enough, she was there.

He thought, because Liang Xinming is an undergraduate Xie Yuan and a young man who is outstanding.

Liang Xinming has gone through yesterday's events, and today he can face Wang Heng calmly. After worshipping the master with everyone, he did not take the initiative to approach him, but only talked to the lifters at the same table. She writes poems and speaks very low-key, without showing an aggressive youthful spirit, nor showing an eight-sided exquisite knot skill, and treats people modestly.

Her humility won the favor of the crowd.

At the table where she sits, the second and third places are all there.

The second place is none other than Wang Heng's cousin Meng Wulan.

Meng Wulan was twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he was originally a long-sleeved and talkative person, but today he is silent. Because his uncle Wu Zhifu was imprisoned yesterday, the person who solved the case was his cousin Wang Heng. It is rumored in the market that the Wu prefect framed Liang Jieyuan in order to remove obstacles for Meng Wulan to seize Xie Yuan; there are also rumors that Meng Wulan's second place was not obtained by virtue of his real ability. Fortunately, Wang Heng personally convicted the Wu Governor and cleared his suspicions.

In this case, it would be good for Meng Wulan to maintain his composure, how could he still be in the mood to laugh with others, and even more uncomfortable in the face of Liang Xinming.

Liang Xinming did not deliberately target him.

She drank a few glasses of wine and her cheeks flushed.

looked at her with a smile and said: "Liang Jieyuan's character and knowledge have a bit of the demeanor of a teacher. The teacher is a young talent, peerless, my generation is beyond reach, Xie Yuan works hard or can catch up. ”

This is a clever saying, clearly praising Liang Xinming, and actually flattering Wang Heng.

Liang Xinming said: "I am only shallow in my studies, how dare I compare with my teacher." ”

Everyone chimed in, saying that she was too modest.

Meng Wulan glanced at Liang Xinming and said, "Liang Jieyuan is indeed comparable to his teacher. This is the first time he has taken the initiative to show goodwill to Liang Xinming.

Liang Xinming said: "This is Brother Meng lifting the younger brother. ”

She didn't want the topic to revolve around her, and wanted to find out the details of Wang Heng's recent years, so she asked: "The younger brother grew up in the mountains, and I only heard about the name of my teacher during the college examination last year. I heard that the teacher has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, and he became famous at a young age. Is that really the case?"

When everyone heard this, they said, "That's right." ”

In particular, the son of Juzi, who is in She County, Huizhou Prefecture, talked in detail about Wang Heng's youthful experience: he was able to write poetry at the age of eight, Xiucai at the age of thirteen, raised at the age of sixteen, and won the champion at the age of twenty.

Liang Xinming heard it, held the small porcelain cup and turned it gently, thinking about how to speak, and asked Wang Heng why he didn't get married, and it happened that the curious one asked for her.

One fell swoop and said, "I heard that the teacher has not yet married." ”
